We took the same great fit and comfort of our Signature Short and sought where we could make the short more affordable without generally compromising quality. A new lightweight, recycled fabric gives balanced compression and an opaque finish. With the same leg gripper and trims found on the Signature and a high-density chamois, these shorts provide excellent support in a slightly thinner form - perfect for shorter distances or the mid-week lunch ride. With all that packed in, the Foundation is a premium bib short at a not-so-premium price. Features - 78% Recycled nylon fabric with Extra Life Lycra: balanced compression & breathability, comfort and longevity - High Gauge for excellent recovery and second skin fit - 5-Panel design: anatomically cut, compressive and supportive to enhance performance - Foundation chamois, developed with Elastic Interface for excellent mid-distance comfort & support
